Moses Brown reached his massive hands toward the ball coming off the rim, snatching it in midair before slamming it through the basket with two hands. The game was less than three minutes old and the UCLA freshman was just beginning to familiarize himself with the rims inside his new basketball home.
Brown added 13 rebounds and four blocks in only 20 minutes during a memorable debut. His first five baskets came on dunks before he diversified his approach early in the second half, scoring on a couple of layups.
Brown was part of a starting lineup that also included Hands, small forward Kris Wilkes, shooting guard Prince Ali and power forward Jalen Hill.
